Decorating your home is like getting dressed for work, play, or a special event. Before choosing your outfit, the proper undergarments are the foundation for the overall look. Similarly, the "bones" of your place dictate the final look of your new space.

You then consider your body shape, as you would the size, dimensions, and characteristics of the room. The flaws that may be irreparable, require camouflage, and the positive elements should be addressed, enhanced, or highlighted.

What type of look do you want--casual, sophisticated, or maybe festive?

Color combinations will also reflect a style--monochromatic, pops of color, etc. affect the mood of your ensemble and similarly, your home.

Finally, like your hair style, jewelry, and shoes-- furniture, light fixtures, window treatments, flooring, and accessories complete the look and provide the final impression and unique beauty of your home.
